Turin

Turin lies along the Po River, where the western Po Plain meets the foothills of the Alps. Once the capital of the House of Savoy and the first capital of unified Italy in 1861, it preserves an orderly cityscape of grand squares, long arcades and royal residences. The Mole Antonelliana, begun as a synagogue, has become the city’s unmistakable vertical landmark and houses the National Museum of Cinema. Turin is also the birthplace of Fiat, founded here in 1899, while its historic cafés and chocolate tradition remain part of daily city life.
